What a lovely recipe – had to read the comments to discover what a Whopper was (Malteasers to us British cooks), but recipe looks great. As I work for a professional catering company I'm always on the lookout for recipes to try with our catering equipment.
Looks great Brandie, going to pin it now!
Made this recipe into cupcakes and I used heavy whipping cream to whip my own frosting. It is sooooo good!
if you can't find the malt powder, would chocolate malt Ovaltine powder be a close enough substitute?
I can't find chocolate malt but I did find Carnation regular malt. Do you think it would make a huge difference in the taste? Also like the above comment I did see the Ovaltine chocolate malt but wasn't sure if it would be the same.
Brandie – I followed the directions exactly but the batter was extremely thin – much thinner than in your video. What did I do wrong? Is 1 cup water too much perhaps? this looks like a wonderful cake and I want it to work! Can you advise?
When I saw Whopper I thought it meant a really big cake and almost deleted it unread until I thought maybe you meant one of my favorite candies of all time! I’m so glad I checked! This looks yummy, and thanks for including the photo so that I know exactly which kind of malt powder to buy.
Should this cake be refrigerated? Do the whoppers on top stay crunchie ?
Hi Wanda, it does need to be kept refrigerated. The whoppers probably won’t stay crunchy so you can add them on as you serve if you’d like! 🙂
